Hiep, in my experience pre-ordering is always a crap shoot, regardless of whom you pre-order from. I can vouch for Adorama's integrity and service as a seller, but there's no telling how much stock they will get compared to the next store. With the GH2, I was in for pre-orders with Amazon, Adorama, etc, and in the end, the first camera I could get my hands on was from Precision Camera in Texas, and that wasn't even a pre-order.

I guess the best thing I can say about Adorama pre-orders is that I placed my own pre-order with them at 3am for an E-P3 kit (silver with 14-42) as well as the 45mm f/1.8. In theory it's first come, first shipped, and my experience with Adorama has been that they are usually amongst the first stores to get stock and tend to get a pretty good volume.

Amin, I have not pre-ordered from Adorama before. How relatively fast are they with getting items in-stock and shipping them out? I am tempted to pre-order the 45mm...

I've had good experiences with Adorama. Adorama shipping prices tend to be slightly higher than B&H (unless they are free shipping items). But I like to use Adorama better than B&H, because Adorama has a better return policy in the event I don't like what I got. Amazon has a very good return policy as well, and returns are even easier, because Amazon will provide the customer with a pre-paid return label. Amazon will deduct the pre-paid return label from the refund, BUT it's still a whole lot cheaper than paying for the return shipping yourself.
